DICE: Open Source CC/PP compliant server extension

DICE (Device Independent Content Engine) is a new project created at the
University of Wales Aberystwyth. It is an open source project to create a
lightweight framework for creating CC/PP compliant web services and
applications.

DICE is a Java Servlet based system using DELI (from HP Labs, see earlier
posts for details) to resolve and cache CC/PP and UAProf profiles. It also
supports legacy devices such as most of the major browsers which do not
currently broadcast their profiles.

DICE has been designed to be easily extendable through the use of content
producers and content processors. The DICE distribution comes with several
different example producers and processors. 'Out-of-the-box' DICE can be
configured to perform selection (select form a set of ready created pages)
or simple transformation. More examples will be created later.

P.S. - You may find that the web link above does not work sometimes at the
moment, this is due to high winds across the Welsh mountains that are
affecting the microwave link to the web server. Apologies for any
inconveniences.
